Discussion

Repeated cross-sectional analysis shows monitoring rates and clinical parameters differ in urban versus rural settings.

Monitoring rates for clinical parameters were between 70% and 90% among participants, with BMI and waist circumference showing lower rates.
Achieving recommended targets for blood glucose and lipids was 68.4% in rural areas compared to 86.3% in urban areas in 2022.
The study analyzed data from a national general practice database encompassing 427 practices across urban and rural Australia.
Improving management of blood pressure and BMI in all areas can significantly reduce diabetes complications among this population.

Liddell et al. (2025) studied this question.
